- Charlie Kohler: Just call me Charlie.
- Charlie Kohler: Okay, if you call me Léna.
- Charlie Kohler: Why Léna?
- Léna: Well, Helén became Heléna, then Léna.
- Charlie Kohler: [Talking to himself] Come on, come on, get your mind on something else. Think of Art Tatum. Has he got talent? And Erroll Garner? Yes, Erroll Garner *has* talent.
- Clarisse: The girls always ask me where I buy my things. Aren't they cute? I pay four hundred francs apiece. Dirt cheap!
- Charlie Kohler: I'm not an authority on girls' panties.
- Clarisse: I did go to the movies this afternoon. I saw "Torpedoes in Alaska".
- Charlie Kohler: How was it?
- Clarisse: It's a picture with John Wayne, to show that the Americans want peace.
- Charlie Kohler: No kidding? Then they're just like me, the Yankees.
- Clarisse: You're always making fun of me.
- Charlie Kohler: No, I'm not making fun of you, my little chickadee.
- Charlie Kohler: If I may quote him, my father used to say about women: When you've had one, you've had them all!
- Thérèse Saroyan: What's the matter? You're moody.
- Charlie Kohler: Nothing, nothing.
- Thérèse Saroyan: Yes, there is. In the car, you were very gay. Then you suddenly stopped talking, as if I had said something you didn't like.
- Charlie Kohler: No, it's not anything you said. I just stopped talking when I realized you were not listening.
- Charlie Kohler: I'm fed up, do you hear, fed up! This is not life for an artist! Of course, I'm not a real great artist, but people must believe in me in order that I may become one. Good God, is it asking too much?
- Thérèse Saroyan: If you think it doesn't try one's patience to live with you, you're mistaken! Ah, your conversation has really improved in a year! If people ask you what you think of Hemingway: "I hear he is a great collector of my recordings."
